Saint Sophia Church, Moscow
The Saint Sophia Church in Middle Sadovniki (церковь Софии в Средних Садовниках) is a mid-17th-century Russian Orthodox parish church standing on the Balchug Island opposite the Moscow Kremlin.

Saint Sophia Church (Nakhchivan-on-Don)
The Church of the Holy Wisdom of God or Saint Sophia Church (russian: Церковь Софии Премудрости Божией) ― was a Russian Orthodox church in Nakhchivan-on-Don (which currently form a part of Rostov-on-Don city) Rostov Oblast, Russia. History Nakhichevan-on-Don was originally formed by Armenian settlers, but since the town was close to Rostov-on-Don, where the Russian population was predominant, Nakhichevan could not remain a mononational Armenian city for a long time. St. Sophia Church was built in 1863 in Pervomayskaya Street. In 1904, instead of the wooden Sofia Church, the construction of a stone church designed by architect V. V. Popov began and was completed in 1912. This church did not last for a quarter of a century. In 1934 it was closed and dismantled for building materials. At first, all the side domes and walls were removed, although the central dome had rested for some more time on four columns. In the end, these columns were also b ...

Church Of Saint Sophia, Ohrid
The Church of Saint Sophia ( mk, Црква Света Софија, translit=Crkva Sveta Sofija) is a church in Ohrid, North Macedonia. The church is one of the most important monuments of North Macedonia, housing architecture and art from the Middle Ages. History The current church was built on the foundations of a metropolitan cathedral demolished in the first decade of the 6th century by the barbarian invasions that brought the early Slavs into the region.

Sophia Of Rome
Saint Sophia of Rome is venerated as a Christian martyr. She is identified in hagiographical tradition with the figure of Sophia of Milan, the mother of Saints Faith, Hope and Charity, whose veneration is attested for the sixth century. However, there are conflicting hagiographical traditions; one tradition makes Sophia herself a martyr under the Diocletian Persecution (303/4). This conflicts with the much more widespread hagiographical tradition ( BHL 2966, also extant in Greek, Armenian and Georgian versions) placing Sophia, the mother of Faith, Hope and Charity, in the time of Diocletian (early fourth century) and reporting her dying not as a martyr but mourning for her martyred daughters.V. Saxer, "Sophia v. Rom" in: ''Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche'' vol. 9 (1993)733f./ref> Her relics are said to have been translated to the convent at Eschau, Alsace in 778, and her cult spread to Germany from there.
